Installation Process

Expert installation made easy.

VELUX® skylight systems and Sun Tunnel® Skylights can be installed in flat or vaulted ceilings in two worry-free phases: rooftop and interior. The pros will recommend where skylight systems should be installed, so you can reap the maximum benefit from the natural light and fresh air they provide.

Installation Types

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will come inside for interior finish work and possible painting. If you have a flat ceiling, your installer will use drywall or other finish material to build a shaft from the skylight to direct the daylight into the room. This phase takes around half a day per skylight.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole and fasten the VELUX skylight to the roof with three layers of protection to prevent leaks. Depending on the circumstances such as roof pitch and weather, the rooftop phase can take between one and three days.
2-3+ Days Total*

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the ceiling to install the lower portion of the reflective tube between the roof and ceiling.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the roof and install the top collar, the upper portion of the reflective tunnel, the lens and the flashing.
2 Hours*

The Room

There may be a small amount of interior drywall work depending on your replacement situation, but the majority of the replacement process will take place on the roof.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will get measurements from your existing skylights to ensure your replacements are a perfect fit, then they’ll replace your skylights

    We love our new Velux skylights. Don Campbell and his crew from Prende were professional. He assessed our old Velux skylights for the best replacement options, and got the ones we chose installed in record time. Everyone was respectful of our home and did a fantastic job with the windows and their work on the roof. The only reason you'll know they were there is the beautiful new skylights.

    We are very pleased with our new skylight! Working with Don and his team was a true pleasure. Don is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He patiently explained our options and answered all questions we had. He was always very quick to respond to our messages to him, and communicated information to us in a timely manner. I can, with all confidence, wholeheartedly recommend Prende Skylights to anyone wanting a great way to improve their home. Cheers to Don, Luis, Abraham, and everyone else who helped out. Thanks!
